Our trip to Iceland was incredible. We were 6 adults who travelled the Ring Road, 2550kms in total! We were fortunate to have Gummi as our travel advisor and local fixer. From start to finish, Gummi was a great help. WE had only two issues during our entire trip and Gummi was very quick to respond and to smooth out the problems. He picked some wonderful hotels for us to stay in. Our favourites were the Hotel Ranga, Hotel Jokulsarlon, and the Hotel Husafell. He arranged for us to drive a Toyota Proace via Blue Car Rentals, which was perfect for the group. It was quite easy on fuel too. Our tours were also quite good, although the Katla ice cave is less of a cave and ore of a smaller hole due to ice melting and deterioration. All of our small tour guides were terrific. The lava cave experience in Vidgelmir was particularly fantastic. Also important were the detailed notes that Gummi provided about parking, facilities at the places we visited, and other relevant information. Our days were quite filled, and we mostly felt like we saw the main highlights of Iceland, and a bit more. That said, by the latter part of our trip, we opted not to drive around the entire Snaefellnes peninsula in order to enjoy a more leisurely day. Gummi arranged for us to experience four of the famous Iceland thermal baths. I added two more: the Secret Lagoon and the Lysulauger algae bath. For some of the group, it was their first and only trip to Iceland; for others, we will return again!

Thank you for the kind words, Stephanie. I am happy to hear that you were happy with the trip and that everything went smoothly.
The Katla ice cave is constantly changing, as meltwater re-shapes the cave and its environment, I am sorry to hear it didn't compleately live up to expectations, but such is nature I guess.
It makes my day knowing that some of you are already thinking about returning! There's so much to see and do in Iceland!
Until next time!
